  • 1.  HPE FlexFabric 5700 IRF Management Configuration

    Posted Nov 06, 2017 05:09 AM

    I need some help with configuring the management port of an IRF.
    There are two switches in this topology.

    My problem is that I cannot access the port M-GigabitEthernet.
    According to the manual this is the management port on the back of the switch, next to the console port.

    When trying to enter this port configuration in CLI I get the following output:

    interface M-GigabitEthernet
                                                     ^
    % Incomplete command found at '^' position.

    interface M-GigabitEthernet 0/0
                                                     ^
    % Wrong parameter found at '^' position.

    I thought this meant that each switch has its own port, for example 1/1 and 2/1, however this does not function.
    Also tried 1/0,2/0 etc..
    Reading further into the manual there can only be one configured since it is an IRF, as I understand it.

    But how am I supposed to configure this if I can't access the interface?

    The switches are running: Version 7.1.045, Release 2432P03

    Reat this thread: as I understood, Management Interface is always named 0/0/0 in each Switch when the Switch acts in standalone mode (so when it is not part of any IRF Fabric)...once a Switch became part of an IRF Fabric only the actual Master IRF Member Switch has its physical Management Interface enabled (exactly the interface M-GigabitEthernet 0/0/0)...on all others IRF Members physical Management Interfaces are shutted down.

    Hello Parnassus!

    This solves my question.
    I read the link you provided and saw that it works as I assumed.

    To think it was 0/0/0, silly me for not noticing this.

    Thanks!
